You are 100% correct as to the director's intention! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to debate that...I just think they could've done it differently.
I just believe, as a society, can forgive almost anything except two things:
1) harm/abuse toward children
2) harm/abuse toward animals

There is no doubt, that scene was a total shocker! I'm just surprised the MPAA let them get away with it. I just think you have to draw the line somewhere, and if the MPAA allows that scene, then the next movie will try to top it...so on/so forth. All the while these scenes will get more & more "over the line"...again this is all IMO. I'm not trying to bash the movie, because minus that 1 scene, I thought it was pretty good!
